Several Blasts Heard Across J&K, Video Shows Thick Cloud of Smoke in Udhampur
The state of Jammu and Kashmir has been rocked by a series of blasts across several cities, including Srinagar, Udhampur, Rajouri, and Akhnoor. According to reports, Pakistani shelling restarted early on Saturday morning, causing widespread damage and panic among residents.
As the situation unfolded, visuals shared by ANI showed a thick cloud of smoke rising from the Dibber area in Udhampur, indicating the intensity of the blasts. The video also captured several houses that were damaged due to the shelling, leaving residents shaken and displaced.
The reports of Pakistani shelling began pouring in on Friday night, with multiple cities in J&K being targeted. The blasts were reportedly heard across the region, causing widespread fear and anxiety among the residents.
The situation in Udhampur was particularly dire, with eyewitnesses describing the blasts as “loud and intense”. The shelling was reportedly concentrated in the Dibber area, where several houses were damaged and many residents were forced to flee their homes.
“I was sleeping when I heard the blast,” said Rohan Singh, a resident of Udhampur. “I rushed out of my house and saw that several buildings were damaged. The smoke was so thick that we couldn’t breathe. It was a terrifying experience.”
The Pakistani shelling has been a persistent problem in J&K, with the region experiencing frequent ceasefire violations by the Pakistani army. The situation has become increasingly tense in recent months, with both sides trading accusations of violating the ceasefire agreement.
The Indian army has been on high alert in response to the shelling, with troops deployed along the LoC (Line of Control) to prevent any further incursions by Pakistani forces. The Indian Air Force has also been put on high alert, with fighter jets on standby to respond to any further aggression by Pakistan.
The shelling has also had a significant impact on the residents of J&K, with many forced to flee their homes and seek shelter in safer areas. The situation is particularly dire for those living in border areas, where the shelling is often targeted and intense.
“It’s a nightmare living in a place where you never know when the shelling will start,” said Rukhsar, a resident of Akhnoor. “We’ve been forced to leave our homes multiple times due to the shelling, and it’s taking a toll on our mental and physical health. We just want the shelling to stop and for us to be able to live in peace.”
The situation in J&K is a worrying one, with the Pakistani shelling causing widespread destruction and displacement. The Indian government has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many calling for a more robust response to the Pakistani aggression.
In the meantime, the residents of J&K are left to suffer, forced to live in fear of the shelling and displacement. The situation is a dire one, and it’s imperative that the Indian government takes decisive action to bring an end to the shelling and restore peace to the region.
